Deadline: 19-Oct-22
The Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is seeking proposals to develop a national roadmap for reducing SLCPs from open burning from the agro-forestry sector, including stubble and pastureland burning and the use of fire to clear fallow lands, but excluding prescribed burns on wildlands that includes intentional burning from the agriculture and forestry sector.
This request will support Colombia to develop a national roadmap that includes alternatives to reducing open burning of various residues including from rice, maize, potato, livestock, sugar cane, cacao, banana, coffee, and oil palm. The roadmap should provide recommendations on the circularity and valorisation of crop residues. This request will support Colombia in meeting its NDC commitments. The results of Colombia’s revised NDC modelling scenarios for black carbon and methane will serve as a technical basis for this work. This request will also build on the recommendations proposed by a CCAC supported consultancy on alternatives to agricultural open burning of sugar cane, rice, and maize residues.
Funding Information
Estimated project cost: USD 75,000
Expected Outcome
The government endorses the national roadmap to reduce SLCPs from open burning
Outputs
The project should deliver at a minimum:
- An SLCP mitigation assessment (with a focus on black carbon) for the agro-forestry sector, including an assessment of the institutional arrangements, and the policy and regulatory environment
- An assessment of costs associated with the implementation of mitigation measures
- A roadmap for implementing alternatives that reduce the open burning of rice, maize, potato, livestock, sugar cane, cacao, banana, coffee, and oil palm residues
- A report with recommendations on the circularity and valorisation of crop residues
- A monitoring and evaluation framework for black carbon mitigation
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for consideration, project proposals must meet the following requirements:
- Are complete and submitted before the deadline
- Are submitted by a non-governmental organization (NGO), intergovernmental organization (IGO), or other not-for-profit entity
- Requested funding falls within the indicated cost range and the project duration is less than 24 months
